RESUMEN
A base-mediated regioselective [3 + 3] annulation of alkylidene malononitriles with trifluoromethyl alkenes was described. The reaction proceeds through sequential intermolecular SN2' and intramolecular SNV-type cyclization by cleaving dual C-F bonds in a trifluoromethyl group, which discriminate multiple carbon-nucleophilic sites using a single base. Various bicycles bearing a monofluorocyclohexene motif were assembled from readily available starting materials under mild conditions via a one-pot cascade approach.
RESUMEN
A protocol for selective and efficient synthesis of symmetrical and unsymmetrical m-terphenyls is presented among aryl acetylene and DMSO in the presence of KOH and methanol. In this reaction, two molecules of aryl acetylene contribute four carbons, and DMSO, as a dual carbon donor, provides two carbons to a new aromatic ring. This protocol can be tolerated for the electron-donating or disubstituted phenylacetylenes as well as the heterocyclic acetylene derivatives.
RESUMEN
1,8-Naphthyridone-3-carboxyl is the core structure of several on-market antibacterial drugs. It has prompted significant interest from the synthetic community. Here, we report a practical synthesis of diversely functionalized 1,8-naphthyridone-3-carboxylic acid derivatives starting from readily available and inexpensive nicotinic acid derivatives. All key steps have been optimized. Furthermore, the usefulness of this protocol has been exemplified by the first synthesis of amfonelic acid.
RESUMEN
Peroxygenated compounds have wide applications in various fields, including chemistry, pharmaceutical chemistry, medicine, and materials science. However, there is still a need for more efficient and environmentally friendly synthesis methods for such compounds. Herein, we investigated the two-step, one-pot, regioselective synthesis of α/ß-aromatic peroxy thiols. We explored various substrates and solvents for the reaction and identified the optimal reaction conditions. We successfully obtained several peroxy thiols in moderate to good yields via the selective generation of effective intermediates of iodoalkyl peroxides at room temperature without the need for metal catalysts.
RESUMEN
The installation of selenium groups has become an essential step across a number of industries such as agrochemicals, drug discovery, and materials. However, direct C(sp3)-H selenation, which is most atom economical, remains a formidable challenge, and only a few examples have been reported to date. In this article, we introduce the transition metal-free C(sp3)-H selenation with the easily available ß-ketosulfones and diselenides as the material source. This benign protocol permits access to a broad spectrum of α-aryl(alkyl) seleno-ß-ketosulfones in high yields with outstanding functional group compatibility. Distinct advantages of this protocol over all previous methods encompass the utilization of base and air as an oxidant, room temperature, and enhanced green chemistry matrices.
RESUMEN
While the radical coupling/cyclization of N-arylacrylamides has been well established for the synthesis of functionalized oxindoles, in the present work, a visible-light-induced aerobic oxidative coupling/cyclization reaction of N-arylacrylamides with benzylalcohols has been developed. The combination of LiBr and benzophenone as the additive was found to be highly effective to enhance the catalytic efficacy. This protocol offers a mild alternative access to structurally valuable hydroxyalkyl oxindoles. Mechanistic studies reveal that the bromo radical in situ formed through the photoredox SET process under aerobic conditions enables efficient HAT to generate the key hydroxyalkyl radical intermediate.
RESUMEN
A visible-light-promoted [3 + 2] cyclization between chalcones and 2-mercaptobenzoimidazoles for the construction of diverse imidazo[2,1-b]thiazoles via an electron-donor-acceptor (EDA) complex has been developed. This novel aminothiolation can be realized under only visible light irradiation without the aid of external photocatalysts, transition metals, and oxidants. Mechanistic investigations have revealed that the thiol anions and chalcones form EDA complexes, providing a novel strategy for the synthesis of imidazo[2,1-b]thiazoles.
RESUMEN
A photochemical thiol addition/aerobic oxidation cascade reaction has been developed. This protocol enables efficient oxidative coupling of epoxides and thiols to access structurally valuable ß-hydroxylsulfoxides. A broad range of functional groups are compatible to obtain moderate to good yields of the target products. Mechanistic studies revealed a sequential reaction pathway involving base-promoted thiol addition of thiols to epoxides and visible-light-induced aerobic oxygenation of thioethers.
RESUMEN
An electrochemical three component cascade phosphorylation reaction of various heteroatoms-containing nucleophiles including carbazoles, indoles, phenols, alcohols, and thiols with Ph2 PH has been established. Electricity is used as the "traceless" oxidant and water and air are utilized as the "green" oxygen source. All kinds of structurally diverse organophosphorus compounds with P(O)-N/P(O)-O/P(O)-S bonds are assembled in moderate to excellent yields (three categories of phosphorylation products, 50 examples, up to 97 % yield). A tentative free radical course is put forward to rationalize the reaction procedure.

C-H bonds are ubiquitous in organic molecules. Homogenous gold-catalyzed direct functionalization of unsaturated C-H bonds has emerged as a powerful method in our synthetic toolbox. However, Csp(3)-H bonds have larger dissociation energy and lower proton acidity, and thus the efficient and exquisitely selective cleavage of this kind of chemical bonds for the formation of new carbon-carbon and carbon-heteroatom bonds is still a great challenge. In this tutorial review, we will highlight the recent achievements of gold-catalyzed oxidative and redox-neutral Csp(3)-H bond functionalization, which opens new avenues for economical and sustainable construction of fine chemicals.
RESUMEN
The trifluoromethyl-substituted anilines are biologically active compounds and useful building blocks. In this communication, we have developed the first visible-light-induced radical trifluoromethylation of free anilines with the commercially available and easily handled Togni reagent at room temperature. The resulting products were successfully transformed into a variety of valuable fluorine-containing molecules and heterocyclic compounds. This protocol provides an economical and powerful route to trifluoromethylated free anilines.

The corresponding trifluoromethylated alkenes were obtained in moderate to high yields with excellent functional group tolerance at ambient temperature. Preliminary mechanistic analyses suggest a radical-type mechanism.
